I don't know about Canada, but in the US, factory debadge is not an option.

Option 320 in the US. Been discussed on the forum a couple times but it seems some CAs don't know about it or dont care to. But some on here, including myself have ordered US spec car with that option.

On the issue of rebadging.... My salesman offered to have my new 328i debadged for me but then called me and said I shouldn't do it. Said their detail guy told him BMW is using a new double sided tape on the F30's that etches into the clear coat, leaving an impression that can not be buffed out. Anyone else heard anything about this? I really wanted to remove everything except the rounded but now I'm paranoid.

Not true, plenty of people on the forums have debadged without any instances of clear coat damage.

Debadged mine... No holes, no etching... Thats a bunch of BS... Use floss (it doesnt just peel up)... It will leave a bit of stickyness behind... peel up what u can with ur finger and then use a solvent to remove the rest... After mine was clean I washed the area well and waxed just to be sure it didnt leave a mark...

Huh, interesting! You're in Belgium? Are any of the people getting option 320 residents of the US, or are they in Europe getting US spec cars? I ask because I just double-checked the official US ordering guide from BMW and it doesn't list an option 320 at all...

And back on the original topic, when I removed my 328i badge there's zero evidence on the paint of it every being there. I used dental floss to remove the badge initially, then some orange goo-gone stuff to remove the remaining adhesive.

I'd have to go back to previous threads to see where in the US others are from but if you do a factory order on a US Spec car and your CA lists option 320 you'll get er dun. My CA (mil/diplomat specialist for Belgium) researched it and added to my order no problem. I think it's just a matter of the CA knowing...
